John Prophet

Archaic.
Ancient,
evolving
beliefs.
Modernity,
structured
up from
long ago.
Primitive
understanding,
knowledge
of reality
still.
Down
the millennia
evolving
change.
Different
beliefs.
Different
gods.
Meeting
human
need.
Providing
comfort,
structure
in an
unstructured
existence.
Helping
make sense.
Holding
back the
dark.
The demons
that haunt
the unknown.
Lighting
candles
to brighten
the way.
From the
primitive
fire dance.
To modern
philosophy.
Nothing has
changed.
Just
something
to hold
on to.
When the
sun goes
down.
